Safe Haven - Whores With Guns

Someone called me out on this before, but I must reiterate: kevlar vests are not magical-bullet-stopping-absolutely-no-damage-taken-devices.

[Safe Haven - Whores With Guns]

Nick wasn’t a very nice person, hence his call sign, but he wasn’t thrilled about the idea of his partner killing women he could sleep with. But Kyle had that look in his eye that meant he was beyond pissed off. The man Kyle had been looking for apparently gave him the slip again, and somebody had to pay. That somebody was Perry, but since he was the only known person who could find the naked dude from yesterday, someone else had to pay. Of the few things horrible acts that Nick didn’t condone, killing sluts was one of them, but he figured there was no way Kyle would kill all of them, so he figured he’d let him kill an ugly one first.

With all the commotion, some of the girls had already cleared out but there were a couple that were standing in the main lobby. “Shit, they’re both hot,” Nick said under his breath as he approached them. Neither one of them look frightened. “Where’s Perry?” the blond one asked. Nick ignored them as he tried to choose between the two. The only discernable difference between them to him was that one was blond and the other was a brunette. “Gotta admit, I’m a bit partial to blonds,” he said as he pointed his rifle at the brunette. “Let’s go visit your pimp,” he said as he directed her. “Don’t go too far,” he said to the blond with a wink as he walked the brunette back to Kyle.

“I just want to say, it’s nothing personal,” Nick said to the brunette as he grabbed her hair and lead her into the office to die. Perry immediately buried his head when he saw her enter. “Last chance,” Kyle said with authority as Nick walked over towards him. “I say we rape ‘em first,” Nick said aloud as he watched the brunette reach behind her and pull out a gun. “Shit!” Nick said as the woman quickly fired a couple shots in front of herself without aiming. It was more if a reaction on Nicks part when he fired at the woman, obliterating her torso with a stream of fire. He turned to see Kyle on the ground, noting only one bullet hole in the wall behind him.

“You ok?” Nick asked as he saw Kyle clutching his own torso. “Don’t be a pansy,” he said “You’re wearing Kevlar.” Kyle revealed his hands to be bloody as he said “Fuck you.” Whatever that woman was armed with, she wasn’t packing some pussy caliber rounds, that was for sure. Kyle looked past Nick and his eyes went wide. He turned around to see the blond from before pointing a handgun of her own at Nick. “You gotta be kidding m-” he said before the woman fired at Nick.

The shots pounded into his chest, but his vest was holding out. Still didn’t mean that it didn’t hurt as he fell backwards and dropped his rifle. His chest felt like it was on fire as he pulled out his handgun as he hit the ground. He extended his arm out to aim as the blond was running up for a better shot. He pulled the trigger three times, hitting his mark every time as the blond threw her gun up and fell.

“Call backup,” Kyle said as he groaned, keeping both hands on his bullet wound. Kyle rolled over, noting that he definitely had at least one broken rib, and grabbed his rifle. “We’re getting out of here,” he said as threw the rifle around his back and grabbed Kyle’s. “Can you move?” he asked as Kyle propped himself up. “Gimme your arm,” he said as he helped Kyle up and shouldered him as they limped for the exit.

Nick spotted a couple more women running up. Not taking any more chances, he opened fire immediately at them with Kyle’s rifle. “What the fuck?” Kyle asked as Nick backed them towards the front door, keeping watch for anyone else running out. “We’re out of here,” Nick said as Kyle screamed out in pain. Bullets flew passed Nick’s head and he realized someone was shooting them from outside.

“This is fucking ridiculous,” Nick said as he dropped Kyle off behind the wall next to the door just as a bullet slammed into his vest, knocking the wind from him. He collapsed and rolled to the other side of the door. Too many people were firing at the moment for Nick to even begin to wonder how many people were out there, but they sure as hell weren‘t ResEs. “…Two Enforcers down, myself included!” Kyle was screaming into his radio “Unknown number of assailants.”
